My recent blood results are as below. Should I be concerned about the CRP? Taking those B12 supplements etc paid off as better values than before. Full blood count tinnitus Total white blood count 8.7 10*9/L [3.9 - 10.2] Red blood cell count 4.40 10*12/L [3.9 - 5.2] Haemoglobin concentration...

Thank you for your kind words. It is just that it was already hell as it was, and now I find myself wishing for that. Why doesn’t it go away? Why did I get this in the first place and have to suffer so much? I am glad some people keep motivated by a cure. I know in my lifetime that will never be...

Hello everyone (who might be reading), My tinnitus did not go away or get much better after over a year and a half since sudden onset. I have just had my second dose of Pfizer (nothing unusual happened after the first) and as soon as I got injected, tinnitus became catastrophic and it has been...

It would seem ‘residual habituation’ is how that effect is described. It doesn’t last long enough and it is not a cure. However, I do wonder if a sound therapy generator connected to a hearing device that is worn all the time, would help potentially train the brain long term. Sometimes when I...

Do you guys really think so? I have read that multiple times so maybe there is some truth to it. This success is not very well documented anywhere online. Yes, I know there is a thread about recovery stats here too, but anyway... I hope it is true. I am clinging on to hope it will get better or...

You think so? This forum is just a representation of the sufferers out there. None of the doctors I have seen told me it went away for anyone they knew. When I first got it, I trawled the internet and I still do occasionally and I never found truly convincing evidence that it goes away for...

The clowns I went to see, both my local GP and then ENT hospital referral told me my ears are very clean, in fact maybe too clean if there was such a thing. I can’t comprehend as I’ve heard this story too many times now, just how one of us poor souls can suffer from tinnitus or any ear issue for...

I suffer from the exact same and have been for 6 months now. I don't know what pure tone is, maybe it started off like that for the first few weeks only. It is now an established electric hiss in the head, which can be faded into the background on the occasional day when I am lucky, but it is...

I have just posted something about this. I know many people here seem to react the way you described it, but for me it is the OPPOSITE. Loud, ongoing, 'irritating' to some, sounds make my T fade in the background and when exposed for long enough, it fades for the rest of the day at least.

My tinnitus started 6 months ago after a shower. I freaked out because of something that happened when I got out and I got a ringing on my left that never went away. It spread to the right and my head and it mainly is in my head now either centrally or shifting. I also get CLICKING sounds in my...

It was new and constantly changing for about a month. Now it’s very much set into this pattern for what seems like an eternity. :( I never suffered from anxiety/ depression or took any meds, but I read about sufferers finding some relief using tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline...

I have very low tinnitus one day and extremely high static suicidal one the other, so my ‘spike’ is cyclic, almost every other day. I can’t seem to get any help or figure out why and how to get out of the loop. It wouldn’t be half as bad if it stayed in its lowest form...

I have a question for all my fellow sufferer ladies out there on the combined birth control pill: I have been on the pill for over a decade now, no problems whatsoever and lots of benefits. For many months lately, I have taken it without a break AT ALL. Now that I got tinnitus, since I take no...

I have a question for all my fellow sufferer ladies out there on the combined birth control pill: I have been on the pill for over a decade now, no problems whatsoever and lots of benefits, mainly the comfort and being in control that it brings. For many months lately, I have taken it without a...

I always assumed that the natural thing to happen would be for tinnitus to gradually fade away and hopefully eventually disappear altogether. However it is unclear from the posts of people who successfully got rid of it (and not just habituated) that it was necessarily the case. In my case right...

But do steroids help all tinnitus sufferers despite the cause or just those with SSHL? In my case, I have sensorineural hearing loss in the high frequencies from birth, but only just started experiencing tinnitus.

Would steroid injections help someone with sensorineural hearing loss (not sudden! and not noise induced) 2 months from tinnitus onset? ENT never offered me any sound option.

Thank you for the kind words Tweedleman. I will make sure to fill out the survey. I must say I am deeply embarrassed and angered by how little research is being done on this. I work in research myself and so much funding goes to completely pointless projects to feed some researchers egos. I am...

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my long, boring and desperate post. I asked for these tests after reading about the deficiencies that could contribute to tinnitus myself, suspecting I would be low on B12 because I eat mainly a plant based diet. Doctors don’t know much or...

Hi everyone, I am a 32yo/F and have been a reader here for 2 months before deciding to share my story. I have moderate high frequency sensorineural hearing loss from birth. I have managed this unaided and it never was much of a problem since my other hearing is in the normal range. I...
